Manage PCE Nodes and Clusters
This section describes how to manage PCE infrastructure, which is made up of core and data nodes organized into one or more clusters.
When the amount of stored data is not managed carefully, disks can become overfull. This occurrence can cause a variety of symptoms:
Inability to take backups
Failing API calls
General PCE functionality issues
Recommendations for Data Management
Even when these issues do not occur, a large amount of stored data creates larger database backups and it takes longer to back up and restore the database.
To successfully manage these issues, follow these recommendations:
Identify: Know your organization's policies, backup strategies, and monitoring strategies.
Detect: Monitor ongoing disk usage.
Respond: Know how to troubleshoot and fix issues related to data storage.
Recover: Set up your PCE deployment to reduce disk usage.
